CADET DREDD // Sentientoid’s Big Idea, part one

Mega-City One, 2144 AD. Home to over 180 million citizens, this urban hell is situated along the east coast of post-apocalyptic North America. Crime is rampant, and only the Judges — empowered to dispense instant justice — can stop total anarchy. Toughest of them all is JUDGE DREDD — he is the Law! Now, the Sov war-droid that had been hired to take out Dredd and Maitland on Atlantis seeks purpose to its life…

THARG’S 3RILLERS // The Crawly Man, part one

Three episodes, one complete, self-contained story — a condensed hit of supercharged Thrill-power beamed to you directly from the Nerve Centre! Wales 2022, and the village of Cudd has its own customs and beliefs, its residents keen to keep its traditions secret. Outsiders are not welcome, and any problems will be solved internally. So when a young girl goes missing, they will deal with it themselves…

SKIP TRACER // Valhalla, part nine

The Cube, the 27th century. This vast city floating in the depths of space was refitted by the Earth-led Consociation as a solution to a universal housing problem. It’s home to every kind of undesirable and wanted criminal. That’s where SKIP TRACER Nolan Blake came in, a former soldier turned psi-tracker. But now the Cube has come under the malignant influence of a nearby blackstar, and Blake has entered it on a mission…

DEXTER // Bulletopia Chapter Eleven: The End of The Pier Show, part one

Gun-sharks Finnigan SINISTER and Ramone DEXTER were the best hitmen money could buy in the future city of Downlode. Having whacked Holy Moses Tanenbaum, a ganglord from an alternate dimension, they found killing him reset the continuum, meaning no one knew who they were. But now a rogue A.I. is at large, and Dexter, Carrie Hosanna and Billi Octavo are on the run, trying to get to sanctuary in Mangapore…

JAEGIR // Ferox, part five

The Greater Nordland Republic. While the Norts are currently engaged in a galaxywide war with the Southers, it falls to military officers such as Kapiten-Inspector Atalia JAEGIR of the Nordland State Security Police to investigate war criminals.

BORAG THUNGG, YOUNG EARTHLETS – 2000 AD Regened Prog 2296 is OUT NOW!

Joko-Jargo here again, bringing you another special all-ages edition of the Galaxy’s Greatest!

Welcome to the third Regened issue of 2022. I’m sure you know the score by now, but if there are any newcomers amongst the Terrans poring through these Thrill-packed pages, then let me offer you cosmic greetings and explain that four times a year my Uncle Tharg passes me the keys to the Command Module — which he doesn’t do lightly, believe me — and allows me to take over 2000 AD, pulling together these bumper progs aimed at a wide audience, with one-off and brand-new stories, ideal for those dipping their toes into the Mighty One’s emerald empire.

This issue is no exception, with Cadet Dredd tackling mutant slavers in the Cursed Earth in Two Tribes, dwarf private detective Renk embroiled in a case involving a princess’s missing parents in the debut episode of a new fantasy series, Simon, Sam and the kids going on a day trip to the centre of Howard’s guts in ‘Splorers, and Department K having an overload of Estabons (don’t miss the forthcoming collection of previous Dept K stories, hitting the shelves in November). All this plus a synapse-searing Future Shock in which the world’s inequalities are solved in a flash (or are they?), and it’s another zarjaz line-up!

2000 AD Regened Prog 2296 is out now from all good newsagents and comic book stores, plus digitally from our webshop and apps! Don’t forget that if you buy an issue of 2000 AD in the first week of its release then postage in the UK is free!

CADET DREDD // Two Tribes

Mega-City One, 2077 AD. Home to over 800 million citizens, this urban hell is situated along the east coast of post-apocalyptic North America. On one side is the polluted Black Atlantic, and to the west is the blasted radlands of the Cursed Earth. Overcrowding in the metropolis is rife, unemployment is at ninety per cent, boredom is universal and crime is rampant. Only the Judges — a zero-tolerance police force empowered to dispense instant justice — can stop total anarchy. CADET JOE DREDD — together with his clone-brother Rico — is a rising star in Justice Department, and will one day be its finest officer. Make no mistake, he is the Law!

RENK

Crepuscularia is the biggest city in the eastern region, sitting on the edge of the Weeping Desert, home to over fifty thousand beings. It’s a massive melting pot, in which entities of all types live together amongst its narrow streets, and next to anything is bought and sold from the various traders. But if you want someone or something found, and you don’t have the gold to employ a wizard, or the silver for a warrior, then dwarf RENK will take your copper coin. A wily private detective, his diminutive stature belies a dogged determination to locate his quarry, and he knows the vast metropolis like the back of his hand…

FUTURE SHOCK // Levelling Up

Out in the vast reaches of the universe, there are an infinite number of stories waiting to be told. These cautionary tales pass from traveller to traveller in the spaceports and around campfires on distant planets, acquiring the status of legend, their shocking ends a salutory lesson in hubris. Anything is possible in these twisted trips into the galaxy’s dark side. Abandon your preconceptions, and expect the unexpected. Now, at some point in the future, the gap between the haves and the have-nots will grow ever wider. When the incredibly wealthy Jon Mozes discovers that his fortune has now reached 7.8 quintillion dollars, what is his next step…?

DEPARTMENT K // Crisis of Infinite Estabons

Mega-City One, 2144 AD. Justice Dept has many divisions within it tasked with dealing with the threats that face the metropolis. The psychic personnel of Psi-Division, for example, are at the forefront in the fight against supernatural foes, while Tek-Div conducts all manner of experiments and develops advanced weaponry. The mysterious DEPARTMENT K is a branch of the latter, whose brief is to tackle interdimensional enemies that are seeking to break through the walls of reality. Headed by Judge Kirby, the team is made up of Mechanismo robot Estabon, alien Blackcurrant and recent intern Afua…

‘SPLORERS // The Big Splash

Once upon a time there were three twentysomething geeks — Simon, Rufus and Clive — who shared what looked like an ordinary semi-detached on a regular suburban street. But Clive had fitted the house with a transdimensional drive that enabled it to cross time and space, although it malfunctioned and they spent years bouncing between worlds. Joined by sceptical new housemate Sam, their travels finally came to an end when they returned to Earth and became responsible adults — Rufus entered politics, Clive became a CEO, and Simon and Sam got together as a couple, eventually having kids. But the adventures didn’t stop there…
